    Winch help

    I've got a Mile Marker 12k hydraulic on my 08. I am VERY impressed with it. My previous trucks used the old Ramsey worm gear electrics and it was good for what it was. But after being Hotel 8 wrecker qualified I have been in love with hydraulic/pto winches. Its kinda scary because unlike with an...

    Death of a M1031

    Death of a M1031

    Exactly Doghead! I was sad to see it go but glad that my buddies were ok. Since the military was phasing them out I couldn't get parts for it. So the entire time we were in Iraq it never got an air filter (just knock all the powered dust out of it twice a day), oil filter or fuel filter. We...

    Death of a M1031

    Ya it was pretty amazing that nobody got seriously hurt. The occupants of the hmvee had no injuries at all (nobody was standing up in the crew serve ring thank God!) And the shot gun in the M1031 was a little stiff. The driver was wearing his seat belt and wound up with some stitches. Nothing...

    Death of a M1031

    I have a little time at work today and thought I would share the story of what happened to the M1031 contact truck that was assigned to me while I was active duty. I was stationed in Babenhausen Germany as a heavy equipment repairer. I signed for the truck after arriving to my unit in late...

    Receiver for M1008

    I ordered a Curt 14082 yesterday for mine. Another member installed on his 08 and it looked like it was the easiest install. It mounts to the bottom of the frame instead of inside the frame. I dont think its in the posts that Warthog listed but I'm sure if you type in "Curt 14082" it will come...

    Interstate Driving Etiquette

    When I was in the Army convoy speeds were 45 with a "catch up" speed of 50. Kinda what they were designed for in my opinion. 55 is about all I take mine and only for a short time and thats with 34" tires. I'd really kick myself for grenading a perfectly good engine to get to my destination 10...

    want to change out np205 fixed yoke for slip style

    I'm with everybody else on this one. I've driven home quite a few times on the front end. Possible but not smart with the slip yoke, lol.
